Long-chain n-3 fatty acids and fat fish are reported, among multiple physiological properties, to enhance peroxisomal beta-oxidation and effect triacylglycerol status. Long-chain n-3 and monounsaturated fatty acids are the main portion of fatty acids in fat fish. The individual effect of long-chain monounsaturated fatty acids on beta-oxidation and fatty acid composition was tested and compared ...

introduction the common isoform of fatty acids in animal and herbal lipids are cis fatty acids, however in some sources such as milk and meat of ruminant, the trans fatty acids are more abundant as compared to the plant lipids. the trans fatty acids are very important because they increase the cardiovascular and heart attack. the heart disorders were increased by enhancing the concentration of ...

hydrogenation of oils might be considered as the largest reaction in the edible oil industry. the reaction consists of the addition of hydrogen at the double bounds of fatty acids. although for some reasons this might be considered a desirable reaction but for some others it might create problems in the food and nutrition chain circle due to the formation of saturated and trans fatty acids. soy...

Saturated and trans-fatty acids raise total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol and are known to increase the risk of CHD, while dietary unsaturated fatty acids play important roles in maintaining cardiovascular health. Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats in the diet often involves many complex dietary changes. Modifying the composition of foods high in saturated fat, particularly those ...

OBJECTIVE Macrophage endothelial lipase (EL) is associated with increased atherosclerosis and inflammation. Because of their anti-inflammatory properties we hypothesized that n-3 fatty acids, in contrast to saturated fatty acids, would lower macrophages and arterial EL and inflammatory markers. METHODS AND RESULTS Murine J774 and peritoneal macrophages were incubated with eicosapentaenoic aci...

Background: Liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) is the main cytosolic binding site for long chain fatty acids in hepatocytes. FABPs enhance the uptake of fatty acids into the cell by increasing their concentration due to decreasing concentration of unbound fatty acids inside the cell. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary unsaturated to saturated fatty a...

This study evaluated the effects of season and spatial distribution on the fatty acid composition of Patella depressa gonads and Patella spp. soft body tissue. The results show that the quantitatively most important fatty acids were the saturated fatty acids (SFA) 16:0, 14:0 and 18:0; the monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) 18:1(n-7), 18:1(n-9), 16:1(n-7) and 20:1(n-9) and the polyunsaturated fa...

Earlier studies of several vegetable fats (1, 2) demonstrated that the saturated fatty acids of the triglycerides are found almost exclusivelyin the Iand 3-positions. The saturated acids in these species were predominantly palmitic and stearic. The advent of suitable gas-liquid chromatographic techniques makes possible a more detailed study of the distribution of individual fatty acids in trigl...

OBJECTIVE Saturated fatty acids, such as palmitic and stearic acid, cause detrimental effects in endothelial cells and have been suggested to contribute to macrophage accumulation in adipose tissue and the vascular wall, in states of obesity and insulin resistance. Long-chain fatty acids are believed to require conversion into acyl-CoA derivatives to exert most of their detrimental effects, a r...
